Last time I was in a Target they literally had nothing for me to buy. Just aisles of useless merch. Ended up getting a drink because I was thirsty and that was it.

No Xbox games, old PS5/Switch games, horrible book section, no movies to speak of, no decent olive oil... Just a bad scene.

It's like they aren't competing with Walmart or Kroger anymore and are just trying to be a super sized 7-11.

What, you don’t want cheap Chinese plastic junk from the “Dollar Spot” that’s just going to end up in the garbage anyway?

I can't tell if I aged out of the targeted men's clothing demographic or if they shifted targets to SoCal/Bohemian semi-casual but I've just felt so lost the last few years trying to find their plain tee shirts

I must've aged out of literally any demo they are targeting.

I think some of the nostalgia/gaming/collectable stuff was a good addition to their stores but I also didn't buy any of it because I try not to accumulate baubles.

Also they seem to have tripled down on "overly specific demographic" marketing in clothing and whatnot. I'm not the target market for the plus-sized mauve crushed velvet track suit. I'll put it that way.

Their home goods, bronze and brushed silver crap, isn't my bag, nor is overpriced grocery.

I spend more but get better quality at Duluth Trading.

The root of my struggle is I want V-necks. I'm not seeing any at Duluth. The Target selection always seems to be narrowed down to 6 V-necks (total) in colors that aren't me. Kohls has done better recently
